Just a GREAT Rock n Roll Band. RIP Pat.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...dies-at-age-62]]>So sad to hear that Pat DiNizio has passed away. One of my favorite bands from the late 80's/90's. They bragged they were influenced by The Beatles and actually did an album called Meet The Smithereens:

Who is being commissioned to make a statue that looks like that, and why was it not nipped in the bud well before being made public? This is a player who's the best of all time for quite a few people - how can those, on either side of work revolving around this statue, think it should be a go when it looks nothing like him?
Can't they just use 3D printers now? At least they'd look a bit like the person.I just don't get it.looks more like Paul McCartney than Maradona.:yeah::smiley1:

Another football icon has been honoured by a statue with a bronze sculpture of the Argentina great, Diego Maradona, although the dubious likeness to the 1986 World Cup winner has attracted online ridicule.

The 12-foot statue features the 1986 World Cup winner with a healthy head of hair and holding aloft the trophy he helped Argentina win in Mexico, but bears little resemblance to the then 25-year-old captain of the side.

Sun, 10 Dec 2017 03:42:05 GMTSteve's 70s Christmas goodness post inspired me to share my exterior illumination photos. I've become increasingly obsessed with holiday blow molds in the last few years, and a few weeks ago my lovely wife came up a great vintage lot for the low-low price of $50. I got a really old Santa, an early 70s snowman, and an early issue of the familiar nativity set. I added them to my growing collection and I'm really happy with the retro kitsch feel I get every time I pull into my drive way at night.

I love the vibrant, clown-like colors on this snowman! I've seen this mold before, but never in these colors.

This Santa had a cracked base,but an old knock-off frisbee and some white electrical tape got him back into service. Love the brown/gray in his beard for variety.

The lighting set-up in Mary and Joseph is very different than most of my blow molds. It's like there's a full lamp running from the bottom to top.

The first exterior blow mold I ever got when I was back in high school in the 90s.

A few more shots of my exterior illumination setup for the year!

I'll post some pics of my interior blow molds later.
